[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Here in the central business district of Sydney a man sit alone in reflective mood, in a smart down-town cafe. However, he is also reflecting in the other sense, a bar mirror catches his reflection and make us see double. After business hours the smart cafes of central Sydney are full of business people relaxing at the end of the day.I have started taking some of these secret pictures of people going about their daily lives, in the spirit of Francis, who is now longer with us.

Absolutely superb and so well conceptualised. The mod is pensive and the photography is of the top order. I knew this was a classic even from the thumbnail. Lovely

Hello Kevin,
Quite fascinating to see both side of the face in this fashion. A very expressive portrait. Very well observed and executed.

Hallo Kevin!
A truly inventive, a bit courageous and beautiful picture. What may he think about ...?!
Greetings from summerly Germany!

This is an excellent capture of people living their own lives without noticing others around. I say this because I am sure the man did not see you at all. The picture is very good with two double real reflections and two women which are not reflected.

Hi Kevin,
I like how the symmetry is broken by the two different ladies at the sides... This guy looks a bit worried! I like also the blurred man on both sides.
Well spotted and timed!
Greetings

Very interesting mirror effects with this guy who feels twice more worried that way :)

Bonjour, cher ami Kevin,
Simple reflet de nos traits ou de notre âme ? Les miroirs ne mentent pas, n'en déplaise aux narcissiques...
Une photo qui ne manque pas d'originalité.
Addenda : Merci pour votre très gentille critique.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Kevin. Reflection, in addition, a Portrait study. It is really interesting, the man from the same side to see however from another point of view. A good shot. Photos of this kind please me very well. Best regards, Wolfgang.

I saw this yesterday and was very impressed by it. A really good reflection , and excellent expression! Good timing! TFS

Hi Kevin,

Very interesting picture you have there, which one is real?

Cheers

Hi Kevin!
excellent shot!
They are portraits that you can't distinguish more they is real? Good your idea and the implementation. Very nice work!

Hi Kevin, Good street portrait of this man in concentration. The first thought was how grumpy he seems to be. It is remarkable to see the various visages in different places. I find even in comparitively poor SE Asia countries generally the people have a happy expression on their face. With more money comes more problems perhaps. TFS. Murray.

Hello Ajarn

Regard
